章 28: Chapter Twenty-Seven
"A sorcerer's skill is more of their heritage than their effort."
Satoru hummed, reclining back in his chair, and balancing on two of its legs.
"So unless you win the genetic lottery, you're shit out of luck."
I flipped my notebook, my pen gliding across the paper as I wrote, scratched out, and re-wrote theories. Genetics or not, I refused to be stagnant.
"You have an average amount of cursed energy reserves, but you do control it rather well, perhaps you can get yourself to a special grade level, but it won't be as high as, say, Tsukumo."
I continued writing, absently wondering who the hell Tsukumo was.
"Satoru, stop discouraging him."
Geto sighed resting his head on his palm, waiting for the next lesson to start.
I tuned the two out, focusing on my notes, my mind whirling with theories on how to maximize my effectiveness.
If the black flash needed a split-second reaction time, and it was hard enough to land multiple ones, even if I did manage to pull it off, I needed a more consistent way of doing so.
The Falling blossom emotion was coming along well. If I could increase its response to anything that comes into it that's not imbued with cursed energy, it could work.
But I already had a thirty percent chance of landing a black flash with my iteration of a simple domain, even if it was low, that much was a guarantee.
A binding vow could work, but it would take careful wording, and even then, there could be a loophole present that I could take advantage of.
I just needed to figure out the best way to do it without screwing myself over.
Stagnation was not an option for me here.
"Could you stop that? It's irritating."
Gojo sighed, looking over and glaring at my pen like it just killed its dog. My eyes darted to him, boring into him for a moment.
"No."
I deadpanned and went back to writing, ignoring Geto's chuckle of amusement and Gojo's frustrated huff.
If I could combine the two I could probably succeed, but it would need to go through a lot of trail and error.
The door slid open, an excited voice resounding in the classroom.
"I'm back, bitches! Where the hoes at?"
I took a deep breath and looked up at Akira, who had a shit-eating grin on his face.
"Remind me to get you a mirror."
"Fuck you."
The response was immediate, causing me to smirk and go back to the notes, still paying attention to his footsteps as he walked over and sat down next to me.
"You seem awfully happy, did you get what you wanted?"
I asked, flipping a page, my pen hovering above the paper as I glanced at him, seeing his grin get larger, at this point, I wondered if his facial muscles hurt from smiling so wide.
"I did."
I hummed thoughtfully, good on him. I could imagine how it went, and the sight wasn't really romantic at all.
"Good job."
We both masterfully ignored Gojo's and Geto's stares that bore into our heads, until I felt a tug on my arm, I looked over to Shoko, giving her a curious look.
"What are you two talking about?"
I shrugged.
"... He bought a limited edition-"
I immediately felt a slap to the back of my head, shutting me up. Jesus Christ, what the hell. My cursed energy flared, my cursed technique flaring to life, and freezing over his underwear.
"Agh, Shit!"
He flipped me off and my simple domain deployed instantly.
The smirk that spread across his face was pure trolling and I froze his socks too. The asshole deserved it.

"So, how did it really go?"
I asked, walking back to the dorms with my hands in my pockets as I sipped the energy drink in my hand.
"It went well, I had to go to Kyoto's school actually to find her though..."
Akira shrugged, taking a gulp from his own can as he walked beside me.
"And?"
I inquired, hoping to get a bit more than that.
"There was this one old guy, a real ass, not gonna lie."
I chuckled. Yeah, I expected that.
"But hey, I met her and got her number, so it turned out okay."
I hummed thoughtfully, finishing off the drink and flaring my cursed energy. The can froze over before shattering into particles of ice.
Akira raised an eyebrow at the sight, tilting his head in curiosity.
"You're getting better..."
He commented as I took out a pack of cigarettes and put one between my lips, lighting it with my lighter.
"Thanks..."
I muttered, taking a drag from it and exhaling the smoke, my eyes tracking the cloud as it dispersed in the air.
"...Teach me Domain expansion..."
